…Richard and I just had the experience of watching a pirated version of the Harvey Milk movie with Sean Penn. What can I say? Has anything changed? Prop 8? Born agains? However, in a moment of irony, I received a belated Christmas card from my sister Joanie wishing me and my family a Merry Christmas…so for this moment in time…there is some recognition of civil rights…but what about the poor folks in Gaza…all the downtrodden….puh—fucking—leeeze…..Human Rights Now and I wish us all a better life instilled with freedom, love, dignity……

…and I just want us all to get along, but this Holiday Fever needs to come to a close…and could someone tell Israel to chill? Is stupidity and penis length among Israeli politicians that much of an issue? And while you are at it…could you tell Hamas to learn the art of response and acceptance…I could go on, but ultimately the buck stops here at Anado…so I will not be carrying any pictures of Chairman Mao…I just want to make peace anyhow…so Peace starts here…today..not January 1, but now….Got it?

…getting close to the end of the year and I am sending many hugs and love along with Divine Richard and we wish all of you the best in the Coming Year…may the madness and chaos that litters the World be dispelled by creativity and color…'cuz as John Lennon once said: "Love is all you need"……

…I have been listening to my inner resistance lately and not reporting back in this Blog thing I have going on. So much has been happening here. Work work work…and the social thing during the holiday season. I have been holding back in announcing that I have allowed myself to separate myself from Jimmy Ray…We had many good years of working together…we both agreed that I must sink deeper into what is real and truthful in my being…Jimmy Ray has served his purpose and now I am listening to that Inner Sound that is me…something I heard Bhagwan say so many years ago in India…"Listen to your own inner voice"…so…I am renaming the Chapel: Gallery Groove…soon the name of this blog will change and I raise a glass to Jimmy Ray! Merry Christmas, by the way…..

Well, Folks, it has been a busy time. For the last few months there has been a lot of work happening and now the Holiday Season is kickin' in South of the Border with that country that consumes so many drugs and has the rest of the world in such a tither…but let's not go into that. We had a sale out here last weekend called Art and Whimsy…it was our fifth year of doing this gig and it was quite festive…I had good sales, Richard made great Chai, and our Divine Sister Patrice held the space while outfitting everyone in her colorful designs…I am including a copy of the poster that our new friend, Sugar Power designed…hats off to Sugar….check out her website at www.lintmuseum.comAnyhow…sending Holiday Blessings to one and all and may All Beings be free of Suffering and may All Beings find peace…Love!

It has been crunch time here lately…the studio is ablaze….the Gallery Site is beyond the beyond. I have been quite busy and thank Goddess that I have help. So after the 18th or so, I can kinda get more festive in my off time…but being in this Crunch Mode only enhances the degree of Groove that we are basking in…Here is a photo that Richard took of Carlos and I in the Studio this afternoon….Love to All!
